I’ve just created a new world and am trying to start a random character:

NOTE: I am using about 200 mods. I’m sure this factors into the problem somewhere, but I got things working in the previous edition. Is this an out of memory error?

Sorry, but you have so many mods there’s basically no way anyone can debug this - something is happening during item finalization that causes a crash.  
I’d advise you to go through your mod list and disable them one by one to narrow down what could be causing a crash.

</div>

My suggestion is to bisect your mods to at least narrow down the one triggering the issue.  
Disable half of them and see if it still happens, if it does, cut that list in half, if not switch to the other half.  
Repeat.

That should get you one mod in about 8 atempts.

Thanks!  
I was hoping there was another way to debug things to determine the exact problem, but this will work fine.

</div>

I’ve pinpointed the two mods (fallout & More\_Tea\_Leaf) that were breaking the game. I also have a rough idea of what is causing the problem.

Both of the mods give this error on the first stage of loading:  
DEBUG : Received unrecognized iuse function CAFF, using iuse::none instead

FUNCTION : use\_function Item\_factory::usage\_from\_string(const string&) const  
FILE : src/item\_factory.cpp  
LINE : 2871

Not sure what CAFF is, but I’m removing all references to it to see if that fixes the mods.  
Seems like a minor bug in DDA that using iuse::none breaks the game.

@paul_blazek  
Use the latest Fallout and More\_Tea\_Leaf from @TheGoatgod in [https://github.com/TheGoatGod/Goats-Mod-Compilation](https://github.com/TheGoatGod/Goats-Mod-Compilation) , i’ve fixed these by removing CAFF and fixing More\_Tea\_Leaf

What’s causing the issue for you is PK\_Rebalancing, i’m still looking for the fix, it will take some time, i’m using 167 mods and **exactly** PK\_rebalancing causes this

Copy and paste this file - _ **drop.json** _ to _ **PKs\_Rebalancing-master/items** _ and overwrite the _ **drop.json** _ file, this will make the mod work and fix the segmentation fault errors

I don’t remember which mods I’ve edited previously (I had them previously edited for the experimental 10206 release), in order to fix things to Edition E I do remember making tedious changes to spell format in secronom. Do you want all the mods as a zip or just secronom? (or some other grouping)

So a zip of all mods and a zip of secronom? I can do that.  
The mods that were listed above as my mods.json all “work” currently together. By which I mean that they do not crash the game. I’m not sure if they perform as desired, and I am getting various non-critical errors on startup. I’m not sure about the others. All of the mods that I listed there I fixed to work with E Edition. Some of the others are likely set for Experimental 10206, which was my previous edition.
